Khalil Shakir News
Wednesday, April 15, 5:52 AM
Buffalo wide receiver Khalil Shakir has finished each of the past two seasons as a low-end WR3 in PPR formats, but following the Bills' acquisition of DJ Moore via trade, he has fallen to WR56 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. While Shakir is likely to see a decline in volume, the drawn converge and space created by Moore could further open up one of the strongest elements of his game. Shakir's 7.7 yards after catch per reception since entering the league in 2022 is an elite number, aided by his connection with Josh Allen in off-schedule moments. That chemistry could still make him a trusted target when plays break down, allowing Shakir to supplement some of his volume-based production with big plays. While his overall profile could shift from a high-floor, low-ceiling safety net to more of a boom-or-bust option, the 26-year-old Shakir should still find his way to fantasy relevance in 2026 and beyond, and is likely undervalued in dynasty circles.

Matthew Golden News
Sunday, May 3, 11:28 AM
A first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden failed to establish a consistent role in his team's offense as a rookie. Across 14 games, the 22-year-old recorded 29 receptions for 361 yards and zero touchdowns on 44 targets. Despite the underwhelming production, there's reason for dynasty managers to be optimistic about Golden heading into 2026. The Packers let wide receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded away wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. Green Bay still has a pair of talented wideouts ahead of Golden on the depth chart in Christian Watson and Jayden Reed. Still, Golden should have an opportunity to step into a far more prominent role in the Packers' passing game. In dynasty formats, managers may want to seek out buy-low opportunities on Golden ahead of 2026.
